PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EOS imaging (Paris:EOSI)(Euronext, FR0011191766 – EOSI), the pioneer in
orthopaedic 2D/3D imaging, today announced that the Company will
participate to the Fourth World Congress of Minimally Invasive Spine
Surgery and Techniques (WCMISST), held in Paris, June 11-14, 2014.

The WCMISST is a leading international conference focusing on
innovations in minimally invasive methods for spinal surgery. The
congress brings together spinal surgery thought leaders from more than
65 countries, and expects to gather approximately 500 participants this
year.

Presidential guests Dr. Jean-Pierre Farcy of Maimonides Medical Center
and New York University and Professor Jean E. Dubousset, Professor
Emeritus at Université René Descartes and member of the National Academy
of Medicine and the Academy of Surgery in Paris will both speak about
the importance of spine balance and 3D imaging for improved spinal
surgery outcomes. Both spinal balance and 3D imaging are features now
available to surgeons with EOS full body 2D/3D imaging. EOS technology
is specifically highlighted in a concurrent educational session in the
“Cutting Edge” portion of WCMISST on Friday, June 13, starting at 2 p.m.
in a presentation titled, “EOS in minimally invasive spine surgery.”

“EOS is today the best instrument to understand and treat the entire
skeleton and especially the spine, thanks to 3D imaging in a standing
functional posture” Pr. Dubousset said.

The EOS system provides full-body images of patients in a natural
standing or seated position in both 2D and 3D with 50% to 85% less dose
than Digital Radiology and 95% less dose than basic CT scans in
accordance with the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle of
radiation reduction.

Marie Meynadier, CEO of EOS imaging, said, “Minimally invasive
surgery requires an even higher level of accurate planning, for which
purpose 3D imaging and sagittal balance are recognized by WCMISST this
year as key. We are proud to see our technology positioned as a game
changer by the spine surgery medical community and its key opinion
leaders.”

EOS imaging designs, develops, and markets EOS®, a revolutionary and
patented medical imaging system, based on technology that enabled George
Charpak to win the Nobel Prize for Physics. The Company is authorized to
market the system in 32 countries, including the United States (FDA),
Japan, Canada, Australia and the European Union (EU). Backed by an
installed base of 90 sites and more than 400,000 imaging sessions, EOS®
benefits from worldwide recognition within the global medical community.
